I keep finding pages that I've visited but haven't bookmarked listed in my bookmarks

Firefox Bookmarks

When I open the bookmarks menu, towards the very end of the list I find several pages which I've visited but haven't bookmarked, and often several duplicates of actual bookmarks I visit frequently. Most are at the very end, or at least towards the end depending on whether I bookmarked anything for real after they appeared.

Why does Firefox keep bookmarking pages I visit for no reason, and how do I stop it?

You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox profile folder.
